How old do you think I am?
How old do you think I'll be
Before these people get to know
The real and true me?
I know everything about them.
Names, favorite singers, hometowns.
I know all about these people,
These people I cannot see now.
But I lied to them about who I am.
I lied and I regret it to the full.
Do you think they'll ever forgive me?
Me and my ungrateful soul?
Author notes
I lied to some very honest people on an mmrpg that I play on the internet. I wrote this when thinking of them.
